Maybe Ghost would count as a competitor. |

I was using Acronis True Image 11 to back up Outlook as well as my PC. I just had a Mobile Me disaster with Outlook and needed to restore. 5 hours later I was restored to Nov. 2008. RuhRo! Luckily about a week ago I made an export to PST of my Outlook and recovered it and most of my mail from the Verizon server. It's good to leave mail on the server for a week! Not such a big fan of Acronis right about now. A friend recommended the Storage Craft program as a reliable back up. $80 ouchy. But does it work reliably? I don't know. I'll try the free trial and test out some failure scenarios. |

One of the non-obvious quirks of True Image is that with incremental updates, it will eventually fill up the storage space, and you may not know that it has stopped making incremental updates. For this reason, I make nightly incremental updates to the secure zone, then start over each Saturday morning, AND make a fresh back-up to mirrored NDAS network drives. |

Did you close Outlook when the backup was done? I remember reading that Outlook needed to closed in order to backup the current PST, at least in another backup program I was using. Not sure about Acronis. |

For this reason, I make nightly incremental updates to the secure zone, then start over each Saturday morning, AND make a fresh back-up to mirrored NDAS network drives. I'll just say I used to be a fan of Acronis TI until it dicked me over too (in fact it was this version). I'd used earlier versions & loved the product. Anyway, 2009 said it worked on Vista 64-bit, turns out it didn't -- the installation of Acronis True Image trashed my hard drive (I'm not talking about a non-functional backup, I mean the installation destroyed the Windows installation). Fortunately Windows system restore saved me (*never* thought I'd use it, or say that), and I contacted Acronis.... long story short, turns out I was beta tester for Vista x64! Idiots. They sent me a newer version that worked, but I'd already had a heart attack & a lot of frustration by then. Also, these clowns refused a rebate that met all the criteria. For $15 it wasn't worth a 3rd round with them, they probably counted on that. So now I vote with my wallet, and I try to at least inform others... what they do is (naturally) up to them. Between the rebate problems and the product trashing my hard drive, I'll never give my cash to Acronis again. |

It runs fine on my Windows 7 RC. This is by far the best backup product I've ever used. I guess with all the FAR promotions, the 2010 version is coming out soon. |

For me I do Outlook seperately using their (Acronis) Outlook backup. Outlook doesn't have to be closed. There are now over 1500 individual sections in the backup folder on my external. There's no way to tell it restore EVERYTHING and I think it only did the first big file, if I had to choose every segment and restore I'd have shot myself. I was lucky I did a PST, which I think I will regularly do and copy to Live Mesh or let Carbonite get it also. I'm having othere issues trying to get an externat eSATA drive to work. Thought I had it right and it "fell off" DURING a backup run using StorageCrafts utility. Argh!
Another Acronis issue (I have 11) is I tell it to do my backups in the middle of the night. It just starts and goes whenever... like 5 minutes ago while the other program is backing up.  Vista U64 BTW |
